Chapter 175: The Mysterious Underground Yin Vein (Part II)
Hearing what Master said, I was also at a loss, but that weird old village chief, I must find him, Uncle Tong Sheng can't just die in vain. Clenching my fists, I got up and asked Master, "Master, what should we do now?" Rushing out directly to find the old village chief, will you be able to find out the origin of this underground yin vein? And there are bones buried here for thousands of years, there must be a saying, right? ”
"Of course, there is a saying, but since we have broken in, we must at least find out what the Yin veins in this place are all about!" The master glanced around, then pointed to the passage in front of him and said, "There is still a passage inside, let's go and take a look, there will definitely be the answer we want!" ”
I thought about it, turned my head to look at the passage when I came, and couldn't help but say worriedly: "Master, if the old village chief seals the passage from the outside, won't we be able to get out?" ”
The master frowned, didn't say anything, but turned and walked forward. After a while, the cave in front of me suddenly widened a lot, and it was like a natural container, and a semicircular pit in the shape of a funnel appeared in the middle, under the reflection of the ghost fire, there seemed to be black water traces gathered inside, seeing this, I just wanted to bend over, but I was dragged by the master, I hurriedly turned my head and asked, "Master, what's wrong?" ”
"There's no water in here, don't be so rash!" The master glanced at the black water stains in the pit, then glanced around again before he said in a deep voice, "The black sediment in here seems to be ...... It seems to be the appearance of the blood stains after they have dried up, and because the age is very far away, so there is such an illusion! ”
Hearing this, I took a closer look below, and those traces really looked like a pool of stagnant water at first glance, but when I looked seriously, there was nothing. This sense of visual loss made me very uncomfortable, and I almost went in just now.
Master circled around the huge pothole, then pointed to the bottom of the hole and said, "There is a dark groove down there, have you ever seen it?" ”
I hurriedly looked over, and sure enough, the bottom of the pit was surrounded by nine dark grooves, which I had almost ignored because I hadn't paid attention to them. Instead, the master turned his head to look around, and reached out to touch the surrounding rock walls, before he said lightly: "If the master guesses well, there should be nine secret passages around these four corners, presumably all the secrets are in those secret passages!" ”
"Secret Passage?" I was stunned, and I followed the master to touch around, and soon, in front of a rock wall, I pushed hard, and I felt that one of the rock walls was loose. Hurriedly shouted: "Master, there is a stone gate here!" ”
As soon as my words fell, I saw that the master on the other side had already pushed open a narrow stone door, and a pile of corpses and bones in the stone door rushed out at once, and I was almost stunned! Uncle Tong Sheng really didn't lie to me, there are indeed many bones buried underground, but these bones seem to have been deliberately gathered behind the stone gate, so the stone gate on my side ...... Thinking of this, I pushed the stone door open with all my might, but at the same time, I dodged and jumped away, only to see a pile of white bones rushing out with a hula!
"This ......" I trembled with fright, hurriedly ran to Master's side, and asked in a trembling voice, "Master, what the hell is going on?!" ”
The master ignored me, but carefully observed everything inside the stone gate, and I looked over in astonishment, but saw that there seemed to be many scratches on the rock wall, and those scratches, some of which seemed to be carved out of stone, and some of which looked like human fingernails were scraped out. As for the appearance of those scratches, it looks like some ancient seal characters, but I can't understand what those fonts are written exactly!
The master looked at it for a long time before shaking his head and sighing, "This, this is the most cruel human sacrifice in ancient times...... Those words are clearly prayers, but they should be written more than 2,000 years ago. At that time, the writing was not unified, the so-called ten miles of different days, a hundred miles of different words, but looking at the form of these words, it is very similar to the handwriting of the Shang Tang period, alas, the development of living human sacrifice was also the most prosperous in that period! ”
I looked at it again, and although I still couldn't see the reason, the question in my heart was deeper: "Master, since these bones were sacrificed at that time, why can they still carve any prayers on the rock wall?" Don't...... Could it be that after being buried here, they are not dead yet?! ”
"Not bad!" The master nodded, and then said, "The sacrifice of the living is naturally to choose the living, and if it is a dead person, there is no meaning in the sacrifice. In ancient times, the development of religion was not unified, Taoism was not founded at that time, the most believed in the world is the primitive religion, such as nature worship and so on, the sacrifice is carried out according to the rituals of each dynasty and generation, but the most appalling is the living sacrifice, the origin of the living sacrifice, to trace back to the tribal war of the primitive society, the selected sacrificial things, is the prisoners obtained by the war, women for the nobles to play with, and some children are adopted into the clan, and the rest of the men have become sacrifices to the gods. The big sacrifices, employing the most people, the most cruel means, such as burning with fire, such as drowning in water, and then such as burying alive, stabbing the throat and draining blood or cutting off the head, and even chopping people into meat, steaming into meat soup, etc., from the Shang Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although the living sacrifice is not so cruel, but it is also common. And there are many records in the history books! ”
I couldn't help but shudder when I imagined those horrible scenes, and when I heard Master's words, I asked in a trembling voice, "Master, are these bones the ones that were used to be buried alive and sacrificed?" ”
The Master turned his head to look at the huge pit, and then said, "This pool is supposed to be a pool of blood, so it can be seen that these people are not being sacrificed as living people, but ...... It's a blood sacrifice! ”
"Huh? Blood Sacrifice?! I opened my mouth.
"Hmm." Under the primitive religious concept at that time, the ancients believed that human blood was carried with a soul, and blood could maintain human life, but once blood was lost, people would be injured or die, and blood was endowed with a magical power in the eyes of the ancients. In addition to the use of human blood, there is also the custom of sacrificing the blood of animals or the heads of humans and animals. In the eyes of the ancients, the method of blood sacrifice would have been thought to collect the blood of all people to nourish all things in the land in order to make the rule strong and endless. The origin of the yin veins in this place, in the eyes of the teacher, is mostly caused by blood sacrifices! ”
When I heard this, I just felt a chill in my back, and I couldn't imagine it. The blind faith and worship of those ancient human beings, who did not hesitate to kill their own kind in exchange for what they need, is really the most ignorant!
I thought about it for a moment, and then asked, "Then after this blood sacrifice, why didn't there be the result that it deserved, but after thousands of years, so many villagers in Liuzhuang above died?" It almost caused a huge disaster. And that crazy old village chief, who is he? What does it have to do with the sacrifice in this yin vein?! ”
Master frowned tightly, and only said after a long time: "The disaster in Liuzhuang is precisely because of the ancient sacrifices here, how cruel the blood sacrifice is, and how strong the resentment and anger condensed by those corpses and bones, plus buried in the ground for thousands of years, it has long been frozen and extremely evil. This is the huge negative impact of the blood sacrifice, once the altar here is opened, releasing the resentment in it, it will inevitably cause immeasurable harm to the people above. But if it is about bearing cause and effect, the death of those villagers must also have some connection with the blood sacrifice here! ”
"Some kind of connection?" I scratched my forehead and said hurriedly, "Does Master mean reincarnation?" Is today's death the payment for the sins of a past life? ”
Master shook his head and said, "I can only speculate like this, maybe it is, maybe it is not, but since the altar here has been opened, if it can't be sealed as soon as possible, the resentment in it is bound to become stronger and stronger, and over time, this place will gradually absorb the essence of heaven and earth, the glory of the sun and the moon, and the resentment in it is difficult to guarantee that it will not cause immeasurable harm to other people nearby." Especially the old village chief, he first tricked Liu Tongsheng in, and then intended to push you in, the purpose of doing so ......"
I was stunned and asked, "Master, could it be that the old village chief, is he trying to reopen this blood sacrifice?" But, why would he do it? This method of blood sacrifice was thousands of years ago, and it is no longer appropriate for him to engage in these crooked ways of blood sacrifice now! ”
"Goo-goo...... Goo ......"
As I was talking, I suddenly heard the sound of bubbles bubbling in the blood pool, and turned my head to look, but I saw that in the center of the blood pool, there seemed to be streams of blood coming out from the bottom up, and I was shocked, and hurriedly took two steps back, and asked in amazement: "Master, hasn't that blood pool dried up for thousands of years?" Why is there blood all of a sudden?! ”
Master's face turned ugly in an instant, and he said hurriedly, "These blood ...... This blood is supposed to be live blood stored underground, and when it touches some kind of mechanism, it will automatically emerge, but what exactly touches the mechanism here? That's right! Speaking of this, Master turned his head to look at me, looking at Master's surprised eyes, I seemed to understand something, but I didn't dare to admit it......
"Master, is it really Uncle Tong Sheng's blood ......" I asked in a trembling voice, "It was Uncle Tong Sheng's blood that opened the blood pool mechanism of the blood sacrifice?" So if that's the case, what happens next?! ”
Master looked at me in a daze, and said word by word: "Next, the living blood will emerge, which is to make offerings to the creatures of the earth!" ”
